Gas measurement and measurement authorization

Learning targets

Releasing a space for work where gas, an explosive mixture, or toxic substances may be present is a responsible task. Supervising the release also involves a significant responsibility. To be well-equipped for this task, various measurements are used. Proper use of the equipment is essential for this.

The Gas Measurement and Measurement Authorization course covers the “what, how, and why” of gas detection. Extensive attention is given to various types of gases, oxygen levels, explosive levels, and safe working values. Additionally, different types of gas detection devices are discussed, along with their practical advantages and disadvantages. Participants are trained to perform and interpret gas, oxygen, and/or toxic measurements responsibly, ensuring a safe working environment.

The following topics are covered:

• Causes, characteristics, and risks of a hazardous atmosphere in confined spaces
• Threshold values
• Reading and interpreting chemical data sheets
• Methods and use of various gas detection equipment
• Measuring and checking confined spaces using electrochemical sensors, gas detection tubes, and PID meters
• Interpretation and recording of measurement data
• Introduction to the use of inert gases

After completing this course, you will know:

• When you can release a space for work
• What to do if a space cannot yet be released for work

World Water Academy offers this course in collaboration with R3B Safety & Rescue. Participants who successfully pass the theoretical test and practical assessment will receive a certificate issued by R3B Safety & Rescue. The certificate is valid for 3 years, after which recertification is required.

The course is offered as a Basic course (2 days) and a Refresher course (1 day). The maximum group size is 12 participants.
